'Founding fathers oppossed slavery, but weren't abolitionists'? As usual, I'm confused.

It isn’t about conditions, it is about principle.

seriously, you think everyone doesn’t know that? I was not advocating slavery. I was trying to get into the minds of men who advocated freedom in a world that had slaves as a matter of course. They might have rationalized that they didn’t treat their workers as slaves, so it was ok.
